The Battle of the Falkland Islands, Before and After

"The Battle of the Falkland Islands " by Henry Edmund Harvey Spencer-Cooper is a book that has been written to link with the description of the Falkland Islands battle, fought on December 8th, 1914, the events leading up to that engagement. In order to preserve accuracy as far as possible, each phase presented has been read and approved by the officers who participated. Excerpt: "We are now approaching the end of the third year of this great war, and most Englishmen, having had some of the experience that war inevitably brings with it, will agree that the words which Nelson spoke are as true to-day as when they were uttered just over a century ago. Furthermore, as time and the war go on, the spirit of the whole British nation—be it man or woman—is put to an ever-increasing test of endurance, which is sustained and upheld by those two simple words, «England's Honour.»
